Just took my car out and it felt stronger around 4000 rpms and up. Is this about right.

ahh...... Your rockers don't, "kick in". There is an older term known as "coming on cam", as in "my car comes on the cam at 4000rpm".

What you are feeling is the point at which the engine is producing peak torque and hp. This varies with engine size and mods.

I noticed zero gain and zero loss...the 1.6 rockers were my last mod before the T56 goes in this weekend. I'm sure they'll compliment the next cam I go with and give me more gains than I currently have...

I think my rockers kick in as soon as my engine starts . Remember we dont have a V-tech, and the rockers will be the same from idle to 7000 rpm. Just a lil FYI.

Well I was once asked at which rpm does my V-Tech kick in so we must have one.
